Dismiss view controller?

When I send SMS using the code below the view gets frozen and the user are not being pushed back to the previous view. Why is that?

 - (IBAction)sendSMS:(id)sender {
    MFMessageComposeViewController *controller =
    [[[MFMessageComposeViewController alloc] init] autorelease];

   if([MFMessageComposeViewController canSendText])
  {
      NSString *str= @"";
      controller.body = str;
       controller.recipients = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                             @"", nil];
       controller.delegate = self;
       [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES
                               completion:nil];
       [self presentViewController:controller animated:YES completion:nil];
    }}

Oh, I misunderstood. You can dismiss a MFMessageComposeViewController inside its delegate method. Try this:

- (void)messageComposeViewController:(MFMessageComposeViewController *)controller didFinishWithResult:(MessageComposeResult) result
{
    switch (result) {
        case MessageComposeResultCancelled:
            break;

        case MessageComposeResultFailed:
        {
            UIAlertView *warningAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Error" message:@"Failed to send SMS!" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
            [warningAlert show];
            break;
        }

        case MessageComposeResultSent:
            break;

        default:
            break;
    }

    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}

Happy coding!

You cannot present a view controller while dismissing the current one. Try this:

[self.presentingViewController dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
    [anotherView presenViewController:controller animated:YES];
}];

Or you can just use protocols&delegate to handle this.

Or with completion blocks: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12658147/present-and-dismiss-uiviewcontroller-with-completion-blocks-without-protocols

Thanks man!! But I don't need to dismiss the current one to present a totally new one. I just want to get pushed back. My problem is that when I send and sms the view gets frozen and not pushing back if he/she wants to send a another SMS
